MOTOR-POWER- TRANSMISSION.

Application led November` 20, 1915.

To all 11i/0m z' may concern.'

e it known that 1, AnoLrH Mass, a subject of the Emperor of Germany7 and a resident of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented -a new and Improved Motor-Power Transmission, of Which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Among the principal objects which the present invention has in view are: to provide means for transmitting power from a Wabble disk motor; to avoid the employ of packed bearings in said transmission; and to simplify the construction and lessen the cost of manufacture of a motor having the transmission referred to.

Draw/ings.

Figure 1 is a side view partly in section of a delivery faucet having a motor and meter constructed and arranged in accordance With the present invention;

rig. 2 is a cross section taken as on the line 2`2 in Fig. 1

Fig. 3 is a top View of a Wabble disk constructed in accordance With the present invention;

Fig. 4 is a vertical section of a modified form of transmission arm, the section being taken as on the median plane thereof.

As seen in the drawings, a disk 8 has at the center thereof, a bearing ball 9. A is formed for the said ball in the cone bottom 10 and in a. chamber disposed between the inlet passage lland outlet passage l2, which constitute, in part, a faucet of which the nozzle 13 is a member. The chamber 14 above referredY to, is covered by a-top 15. The top 15 has a centrally disposed column 16, in Which are formed passages 17 and 18.

he lower end of the passage 17 is ground to orrn a seat for the ball 9.

The column 16 is internally contracted to permit the grinding of a seat at the division of the said passages 17 and 18 for the ball 19, which, in service, completely obstructs the communication between the passages 17 and 18. The upper end of the passage 18 is closed by a ball 20, a seat for which is formed in a projection 21 offset from the plate 22.

The balls 9, 19 and 20 are operatively connected by the short rod extensions 23 and 24,

both of said extensions being rigidly or integrally mounted on the ball 19. The end of each of said extensions has a small ball 25, which is loosely seated in a cup socket formed 1n the balls 9 and 20 one of said Ev" ball 2O and Ward against the said ball to force it upon its seat, and effectively closing tion between the passages 17 and communicapart of the disk S to fin 27.

connected with a A corresponding movement is imparted to the shorter extension 24, the end of which being offset from the vertical center of the ball 20.` rotates the same. The angular relation of the pin 2G to the vertical center of the ball 20, is such as to produce a gyra tory action in the end of the pin when the ball 2O is rotated by the extension 24.

The pin 26 is opera tively connected with a disk 28, a slot l ang formed therein (o rcceive the said pin. The disk 2S is rigidly mounted on the end of a shaft 29, having a Worm 30 engaging a dish wheel 31 and teeth formed at the periphery thereof, as shown best in Fig. 2 of the drawings. The Wheel 3l is held centrally located by a pin A socket disposed `in the bottom of the Wheel 31 holds the ball end of the arm fil. The arm 33 has bearing ball 34, and a short end 35 which engages a pinion 3G, being one 'of the members of a gear train 3T mounted 1n manner.

a casing 39 in a conventifmal It Will now be seen that is rotated, as in shaft 29 and when the disk 28 the manner above noted, the the Worm 30 thereon are rotated to operate the Wheel 31, and through n@ he axis of arm shown in VVvvith the least possible friction,

it, thearm V33 and end 35, andthe gear train 37 operatively connected withV said end.

It will be noted thatthe various moving lioints are formed by means of single balls from which radiate extensions, lthe ends whereof are gyratory. llt is obviousl that the'transmission members may be operated and that any lubrication that is necessary is supplied by the medium in which they are working.

To assist vthe operation of the apparatus aiid'to avoid friction of the fin 2T, the disk S, as seen best in lEig. 3 of the drawings, is provided with rollers 89, which rollers rest against the said iin at opposite sides thereof. Any rotary pressure resulting from the action ofthe fluid on the disk is thereby overcome vand all thrust friction is thereby absorbed.

The modified form of the transmission iig. Ll, provides a movable end 40, which is'held inl engagement with a socket providedV in a pivot ball, by a spring 41,- located in an body 4t2.
